Abstract: Section 90.155 provides that a period no longer than 12 months may be granted to local government entities to place their stations in operation on a case-by-case basis upon a showing of need. This rule provides flexibility to state and local governments. An application for an extension of time to commence service may be made on FCC Form 601. Extensions of time must be filed prior to the expiration of the construction period and will only be granted if the licensee shows that failure to commence service is due to causes beyond its control. The FCCs (FCC 04-166 and 06-110) which added Multilateration LMS EA-licensees and DSRCS (Dedicated Short Range Communications Service) to this rule section and added additional reporting requirements for those licensees in 1995. In 2007, under DA07-479, the FCC granted two to three additional years to meet the 5-year construction requirement for certain multilateration LMS EA-licenses, and extended the 10-year requirement for such licenses two years.

Short Statement: The Commission is requesting OMB approval for an extension (no change in reporting requirements). The Commission is reporting a 600 hour adjustment decrease which is due to fewer respondents subject to the reporting requirements in 47 CFR 90.155(b). Conversely, the Commission is reporting a 421 adjustment increase in responses under which certain licensees, who at the 5- and 10-year benchmarks are required to file a map under 47 CFR 90.155(d). Therefore, the Commission is reporting a total decrease of 179 total annual hours.
